Having been out in a mk1 with a essex fitted who cares is all i can say what a fun car that was.
Only problem we ever had with it was overheating on a very hot day so get a good sized rad in there.
As for tunnel i think it was a capri one we used just stiched into the mk1 shell bubble arches and a capri rear axle
